Teigh in Rutland is a Thankful Village

There are no settlements in Scotland or Northern Ireland that did not lose a member of the community in the First World War.

In England and Wales there are 52, known as Thankful Villages. And Teigh in Rutland is one of them.

The photograph shows the low obelisk and sundial that was erected in 2014 to mark this fact. The plaque lists the names of the eleven men and two women from the village who served in the war and came home.
